I haven’t seen anyone say it is acceptable to break these laws, other than maybe those that endorse policies to starve services of financial resources to do the job required.
The corporates shout louder for what is a diminishing resource and the politicians hear their masters. The police claim they do not have the staff but even though they have lost staff over the last 10 years there are still meant to be more police per person than fifty years ago.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...-figures-show/Are politicians inventing too many new crimes?
Are the police doing work that they never used to do?
Are the police having to do more paperwork than before?
Is this why there are less frontline police than before?
All I know is that it would be better if police were seen on the streets and roads helping people without looking like RoboCop. A preventative deterrent rather than cleaning up after something had happened.
